Robert Allen Harrison

Robert Allen Harrison, 69, also known as "Mighty Ox", "Ox", "Oxy Baby", "Big Hand", transitioned from labor to reward on February 13, 2022, at Self Regional Healthcare. He was born in Greenwood, SC to the late Grady Phillip Harrison and the late Mattie Elizabeth Neal Harrison.

Robert became a member of Bailey Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church at a young age. He was an active, devoted, and dedicated member of the church. He was a Steward, Sons of Allen, Senior Usher, a member of the Gospel Chorus, Men's Choir, Senior Choir, and the Bailey Bethel Singing Convention. Robert had been the church pianist for many years and led numerous spiritual songs with his amazing, melodic, deep voice. He praised and worshipped God whenever he had an opportunity and didn't mind honoring musical selection requests when asked.

Robert was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, and friend to all. Robert was a hard working family man who enjoyed working outdoors. He especially had a love for working on cars and trucks for family and friends.

Robert worked at several jobs throughout his life, but many will remember him as a bus driver for Boles Bus Lines and as a sanitation truck driver with the City of Greenwood, which he retired from after 17 years.

Robert was loved, respected, and appreciated. He affected many lives during his 69 years of life. He leaves to cherish his memories: his beautiful, loving wife Sarah Angelas Harrison of 48 years; three daughters, Reneka (Ivan) Williams of Cross Hill, SC, Yolanda (Sterling) Kemp of Greenwood, SC, and Erica Harrison of Greenville, SC; six sisters, Annie Ellen McKee of Anderson, SC,
